I want to recommend a new book "Bouncing Back" by Linda Graham, my friend and dear guest at the Chanticleer Inn!
Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Beingoffers new tools and techniques to help us recover our innate capacities to meet life’s challenges, whether everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters, with calm, clarity, flexibility and courage.
Bouncing Back shows readers how to harness the neuroplasticity of their own brains to strengthen the structures of the brain they need to “bounce back” and not only get through hard times but thrive in their midst.

My friends Janet and Art want to get the word about the movie "42". So in their words here's the scoop ...

Hi Friends, We hope you can make this event (see below). It’s a benefit screening of the new movie “42” about Jackie Robinson at the Varsity Theater on Monday April 15th at 6pm. "42" stars Harrison Ford as Dodger's General Manager Branch Rickey, the MLB executive who first signed Jackie Robinson, played by Chadwick Boseman. The film is written and directed by Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland. There will also be a raffle of Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia and speakers including John Cypher of Hill Street Blues and, of course, popcorn (can’t watch a movie about baseball without it!). Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 541-488-7716. Proceeds will support Havurah Shir Hadash’s “Burn the Mortgage” capital campaign. Please come see a great film and support the Havurah all at the same time. You Brooklyn Dodger fans especially won’t want to miss it!

West Side Story

[caption id="attachment_2797" align="alignright" width="175"] West Side Story[/caption]
This landmark musical updates the story of Romeo and Juliet to the urban jungle of 1950’s New York.
Broadway was never the same after the jolt delivered by this powerhouse show, whose stunning choreography, soaring music, and searing story of racial tension retain all their original impact. Leonard Bernstein’s matchless score features such classic songs as “Something’s Coming,” “Maria” and “Tonight.”

The early spring flowers are blooming on the valley floor. They look so delicate and sweet. In reality they are hardy perennials.

Janis Ian
Grammy-Award Winning Singer/Songwriter
Janis Ian plays live music Ashland Oregon. Janis was just 13 when she published her first song in Broadside Magazine. At age 14, she wrote the song that charted her life's course, a song that Arlene Levinson of the Associated Press described as "a white teenager indicting America for its racism and hypocrisy." "Society's Child" rocked the nation at a time when the Supreme Court had yet to repeal the laws against interracial marriage, and when civil rights unrest was cresting. It was banned across the country by radio stations as "subversive", a position that was later reversed when the brilliant composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein became Janis' most vocal supporter.

This one I related to. I am so glad for the remote key fob, I am forever locating my car via the remote beep.
